Academic Projects

JAVA Projects: Encoder and decoder for communication

over wireless peer-to-peer channel. The software provides two

operational modes: a) binary BCH, and b) Reed-Solomon. The decoding

is done by Berlekamp s algorithm

Equilibrium structure finder for molecules

where the molecules and their connections are defined by arbitrary graphs.

MATLAB Projects: Digital Radio Receiver Modem for channels with memory including Viterbi algorithm for maximum

likelihood sequence estimation Two-dimensional GPS navigation where less

than four satellites are visible Integrate-and-fire model of neuron as a

filtered non-homogeneuous Poisson process Capacity and capacity per unit cost

calculation for neuron.
